    LG 42LF561V No Video after backlight repair

    Hi need help again please, been working on this LG for several hours now and now stumped
    Got the tv with a backlight/ brightness fault
    Tv worked however the picture was very very dark barely watchable, could see a couple of very much darker patches as if led's had failed
    Stripped the screen and found two failed led's one very badly burnt, both short
    Replaced the two faulty led's and the backlights now seem to be ok with what now looks like full brightness
    Rebuilt the tv and hey presto no Picture now
    Been over and over all connections ie lvds
    What have I done ?????
    When powering on the tv backlights come on lighting up the screen but NO Picture
    Help Please will post some pictures in a few minutes as soon as I get them downloaded

    I had the same problem with sharp 50. I was shure i riped the tabs but i just made sure to reseat the tcon cables and it came back. It was same style plug and it.looked pluged in and just pressed alittler harder. Hope its as easy as this or a surge killed a board. This. Is a set with a seprat tcon so Test the fuse on tcon. the xd chips like to fail on the aio main tcons but idk about that one. I see it has no heatsink.

          removing left and right connections one at a time from tcon to lcd makes no difference, still no video

                  Try only one side of the tcon to panel at a time and see if you get a.white screen.

                    Yes did only try removing tcon to panel ribbons one side at a time, neither ribbon disconnected made any difference to screen, no white screen on either side

                      on the tcon the two ribbon cables going to the lcd panel pcb, have you re seated them in that end under the black plastic.

                            T-CON board has Voltage test points that I can see some of them in your pictures:
                            Vin, HVDD, VGH, VGL, VCC, VCOM, etc. you should test them to see what they have.

                              Hi again budm, as suggested I just checked tcon board voltage test points 12 in all including vcom, vst etc. No test points showed any readings, every test point showing 0V

                                Hi just tried same test on tcon test points with both ribbons removed between tcon and panel, still no voltages measured at any of the test points, only seem to have 13.3 at the tcon fuse
                                all power board voltages appear ok

                                  I am thinking I have a failed tcon or mainboard, unless anyone has any other ideas, but I am only guessing now

                                    Is that 13.3 Vdc on both sides of the T-CON fuse? Are the Panel edge Bds. free and not touching any metal parts of the chassis? Are the cables to and from the T-CON inserted correctly and not upside down, especially the LVDS cable?

                                      yes 13.3v at either end of tcon fuse, panel edge boards not touching any frame parts, cables fitted correctly

                                        have you got a scope to test the lvds signal wires usually pairs i think if you press the remote whilst testing in sure you should see some signal on the wires maybe budm etc can advise more on this test

                                          this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
                                          i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
                                          unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
                                          according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

                                          I am working on a Samsung un55cu7000d which has backlights and audio. There is no picture. This model does NOT have a separate TCON board. Before I order a main board I would like to try and confirm that the issue is not in the display. The ribbon cable from the main board goes directly to the display and I can then disconnect the left from the right. When I disconnect the right side the display lights up on one side but has no video being displayed. Can you all give me some guidance on how to confirm the main board is the issue.

                                          by TR103
                                          Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
                                          - sound and backlight, but no picture
                                          - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
                                          - it keeps rebooting
                                          - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
                                          - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
                                          - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

                                          - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...

                                          I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

                                          I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and

                                          I have a Vizio D32f-E1 LCD TV that does NOT have a TCON board.

                                          This TV recently went through some 'death throes' and now won't boot. The first problem that began to manifest was while watching tv, the screen would 'freeze', and the image would dim over a few seconds until it was very dark. HOWEVER, the audio of the show would continue as normal. I could power off the TV for 5-20 seconds, power back on, and the video would be normal. This would occur 1-3 times when the TV was first started, and would not happen again after the TV was 'warmed up'. Not ideal, but this glitch was manageable....
